Thinking Globally ESH371

This unit can be taken as an elective in
Education courses. It is not available as an elective in some other courses.
Please check with your Faculty prior to enrolling in this unit.

Introduction

This unit aims to develop
understandings about the cross-curricular perspective of Global Education,
concerned with the following possible concept areas - identity and cultural
diversity; social justice and human rights; peace building and conflict
resolution; sustainable futures and interdependence and globalisation.
Participants will first determine the characteristics of a global citizen and
next explore case studies in selected areas in order to develop their own
understandings and how these ideals can be introduced into the classroom. The
unit also explores how associated concepts can be developed into teaching and
learning sequences for primary or secondary school contexts. Participants will
explore a range of quality teaching and learning materials.
